carb cycling diet (DAY 1)

If you’re following me on Instagram or Facebook you might know that I’ve tried the carb cycling diet for 2 weeks.

I actually wanted to shred down a bit (not to lose weight) & after these 2 weeks I ended up losing 3 kg & my booty and legs got smaller…so I’m done with it.

But many of you gals want to lose some weight in a healthy way…and this diet will work for sure 😀

The classic carb cycling schedule alternates between high- and low-carb days, six times a week, saving the seventh day for reward meals. Depending on your health and fitness objectives, however, you might want to alter your setup for the week.

For instance, to lose weight, you might aim for five low-carb days interspersed with two high-carb days.

On the other hand, if gaining weight and adding muscle is your goal, think about including four or even five high-carb days. Just make sure not to put all your high-carb days back-to-back.

You should space them evenly throughout the week. No matter your plan, be prepared to closely monitor your progress and consider adjusting your schedule to see what brings the best results for you.

This is how my 1 st DAY looked like:

MONDAY

CARBS : 180 g

PROTEINS :190 g

FATS : 50 g

I’m tracking my meals with the Lifesum APP…it’s very practical!!!

p.s.you don’t need to track your veggies or berries..if you’re not full after your meals just eat as much veggies as you want 😀

This was my schedule…you can make your own individual & personal schedule…you have to remember that not everyone has the same metabolism & you have to keep working out on a weekly basis (3-4 workouts / week)

AS ALREADY SAID..THIS WAS MY OWN SCHEDULE:

TUESDAY:

CARBS : 80 g

PROTEINS : 150 g

FATS : 58 g

WEDNESDAY:

CARBS : 120 g

PROTEINS : 150 g

FATS : 50 g

THURSDAY:

CARBS : 110 g

PROTEINS : 200 g

FATS : 80 g

FRIDAY:

CARBS : 145 g

PROTEINS : 170 g

FATS : 45 g

SATURDAY:

CARBS : 85 g

PROTEINS : 190 g

FATS : 75

SUNDAY: (HIGH-CARBS-DAY)

CARBS : 400 g

PROTEINS : 120 g

FATS : 38 g

For both low- and high-carb days, be sure to eat breakfast as soon as possible when you wake up, then consume the rest of your calories across another four to six small meals throughout the day.

You could start the diet tomorrow,my next 6 meal plans are coming soon.
